The women behind the Trojan War tell their stories. Helen recounts her story of the burden of being a famous beauty and her elopement with Paris. Wives, mothers and sisters watch the plains below where the heroes of Homer's tale battle in the war caused by Helen's beauty. McLaren views the Iliad in a very different way, showing how the women left inside the city deal with the death and destruction caused by this most famous and devastating war. Young Adult.
